The Blind Sheikh May be Released to Egypt
News Gather ^ | September 17, 2012 08:45 PM EDT | Renee Nal

The Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman, is serving a life sentence for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Since becoming the new Egyptian President, Mohammed Morsi has vowed to secure his return to Egypt, as a "nod to his base" of "hard-line Salafi Islamists," as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The bomb in 1993 killed six Americans and injured more than a thousand. Omar Abdel-Rahman's terror organization masterminded the assassination of former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and he was reported to have a "close association" with Osama bin Laden. would Americans want to see this man walk free? Under President Obama, it just may happen.

According to Erica Ritz from TheBlaze, "The U.S. State Department is currently in negotiations with the Egyptian government for the transfer of custody of Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as 'the Blind Sheikh,' for humanitarian and health reasons," conflicting with the statement from the Department of Justice, that insists his release is not a consideration.

Mark my words, if Obama wins, the Blind Sheikh WILL be released.

I suspect that at this moment, negotiations are indeed taking place.

What the heck, send the cat back to a hero’s welcome.

Just make sure all of his shots are up to date before release - you know -
Hep a, Hep B, Hep C, AIDS, Herpes (all variants), TB, did I miss that he could take home with him as a gift that keeps giving?

What heat is Obozero taking for the Cairo and Benghazi debacles or anything else in the Middle East?

The lapdog media is ignoring everything...State isn’t providing any more details, the UN beyotch just lies through her pie hole and the only people even commenting are on Fox.

The 75% brain dead in this country get everything from CNN and Jon Stewart et al.

Journalism is D E A D.

Obama’s hate for America runs sufficiently deep to commit such a treasonous act.

He is so blind, he can’t see the risk.

If the State Department denies it, you can bet the farm that they are going to do it. Each day that dawns I despise the sons of bitches that inflicted that bastard on me more than the previous day.

No, the Egyptians who offed Sadat are now in charge. Rahman is a hero to them.

Stand corrected, it was the Ambassador to Libya.

BUT the Muslim Brotherhood now controls both. Do they not?

He will probably do more stupid things this year because he does not expect to be re-elected. He will shock us with his audacity and he will burn down the financial house before he leaves in January.

What are they thinking to even discuss this?

If they were to pull this stunt, I'd bet part of the reason is to insult Israel - Releasing the Egyptian terrorist while continuing to imprison Pollard.

Each should have been hung, imho.

Why wouldnt a Man who is a Muslim, and Hates America, set free a Murdering Killer of Americans?

Obama Is such a Man.
He is out to do as Much Damage as He Can Get away with...and He will do More as we approach His Firing.

Nahhh. The Muslim Brotherhood had no use for Sadat. Sadat was a great man and not an Islamist.

That is why they killed him.

What has the president of Egypt promised Obama if he turns over the Blind Sheik — peace in our time? Appeasing dictators is the road to ruin.

First the Lockerbie bomber, and now this guy?

Are we sure Bin Laden's really dead and not living comfortably on some Caribbean Island under Federal protection?
